Dj Brownskin charged with aiding suicide of wife Sharon

DJ Brownskin, born Michael Macharia Njiiri, has been charged with aiding the suicide of his wife Sharon Njeri Mwangi on July 29, 2022.

The DJ was charged with a second count of failing to use all reasonable force to prevent his wife from committing suicide although he had knowledge that she was planning to commit suicide. 

He was further charged with destroying suicidal evidence from his phone on June 1, 2023, having knowledge that the said evidence would be required in judicial proceedings.

According to Section 280 of the penal code, “Any person who procures another to kill himself or counsels another to kill himself and thereby induces him to do so or aids another in killing himself is guilty of a felony and is liable to imprisonment for life.”

The Dj pleaded not guilty before Milimani chief magistrate Lukas Onyina.

The prosecution opposed his release on bail.

He has been detained until June 15, 2023, when the court will give a determination as to his release on bond or bail.
